Party Themes
It seems like yesterday that I was sitting in my best friend's basement at her "sleep over" party playing Truth or Dare. It was a game of chance, hoping that your best friend wouldn't make you reveal your secret crush. It was also a game of fear; being scared that your best friend would make you call the boy you like, and ask him out. It boggles the mind as to why people would put themselves through this, knowing that it can only end in some form of embarrassment. Maybe it's the rush, or the sheer excitement of love in the air that makes us want to play this crazy game. Does this sound all too familiar? Has it been too long since you've told the truth or taken a dare? Well come with us, and take a walk on the wild side with a Truth or Dare Affair for Valentine's Day!
Invitations
You can send homemade decorated hearts cut out of red construction paper. Fold them together, so that only half the heart is visible. Write, "Truth or Dare" on the front of the closed heart, and decorate it with glitter, sequins, lace, or whatever you have on hand. When your friends receive the invitations, they can open the envelope and see the question, "Truth or Dare?" at the top of the heart. On the inside, write the details of the party on the left: Date, place, time, dress, etc. Under these details, write a "Truth" question like, "How do you plan to have fun at my party?" On the right side, write a "Dare" like, "I dare you to come and have a blast"!
Decorations
Decorate the party room(s) in red, white, and pink with crepe paper, various hearts, and balloons. Heart balloons are plentiful during this time of the year, so take advantage! You can find a lot of cute and different balloons with or without faces on them.
Tables
Put some type of paper or metallic red heart glitter all over the tables. Buy chocolate roses, and put them in a vase on each table as the centerpiece. You can also make place cards with a silly dare on one side, and the person's name on the other (One dare could be, "Sing for your supper").
Activities
Play Truth or Dare of course! In case you have never been to a "sleep over" party, and are unfamiliar with the directions keep reading.
Gather your guests into a group, and have a seat. This is a simple game to play, and has very little rules. Choose one person to begin. The "beginner" gets to choose who goes first by asking someone, "Truth or dare?" The chosen person must respond either "Truth" or "Dare". If he/she responds, "Truth", then he/she must respond truthfully to any question asked. If he/she responds, "Dare", he/she must perform a dare that is presented to him/her (no matter what). Prizes are not usually awarded. However, if the host/hostess chooses, small prizes can be awarded for dares once they are successfully completed.
